Bearing exchange final drive and differential pinion clearance

[BrunoNogueira91]

Hello,

I am reviewing the differential of my bayou 220 and I came across two situations:

1 - How can the final drive roll be changed? in the manual it shows that the part can be disassembled, but not to the point of being able to change the bearing;
2 - the differential pinion has a gap, so I would like to know if it would need adjustment or if it is so.

I put a photo and a video to show

Yeah, that pinion bearing is toast, glad you caught it before it ruined the pinion and ring gear.  As far as the intermediate bearing on the prop shaft, it looks like that's not something that's intended to be changed since the manual says replace the prop shaft instead of replace the bearing.

If you can order the new bearing you should be able to pull the cv apart. There should be a big snap ring just inside the cup on the big end. Should be able to get it out with a pick. Then once apart the should be a snap ring on the end of the shaft to slide the cage and everything off. Then the bearing should come off. Then just get a cv joint boot kit with the grease and new bands. The parts diagram might be able to help locate the snap rings. If nothing else you are looking at getting a new shaft right now, so even if you break the cv joint you really are not out anything.

So, I've been researching here in Brazil and the part really has to be disassembled, it's the way it was explained, I'm going to take it to a mechanic and ask to disassemble it, here in Brazil we call that part omokinetic: D

As for the pinion I will ask a mechanic to dismantle it too, it is a system very similar to that of a truck differential, as I have experience with this I found it very strange and I will fix it, I hope it is only the bearing that is inside who presented this slack, in the end is compensating to dismantle the parts because I am finding these problems to solve (which would end up in bigger problems)

I'm thinking of posting a topic with photos and talking about my experience in this restoration: D
